Hi everyone.

When there was something wrong with fsck, on booting, the machine
justs reboots and starts over. Ok, fine. However, a shell pops up
just before the reboot, which isn't a big thing, but...

After a failed /etc/rc, the init calls pause, but when something
ends this pause, init gets on and unnecessarily forks a shell
to console.

Shouldn't there be a while(1) before that particular pause().
